I have the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Google is complaining because I'm almost out of storage space. When I open Google Photos and select files, all it allows me to do is delete them. So I figured out how to download them to my device. Can I now save them on an SSD reader from my device so I can delete them from Google photos? Thanks community!
Connect the SSD: Plug your SSD into the USB-C port of your Z Flip 5. If the drive uses a standard USB-A plug, you may need a USB-C to OTG adapter. Open "My Files": Launch the My Files app (standard on Samsung devices).
Locate Photos: Go to Internal Storage > DCIM > Camera (where your camera photos live) or your Downloads folder for the ones you just saved from Google Photos.
Select and Move: Long-press a photo to select it, then tap All at the top. Tap Move at the bottom of the screen.
Set Destination: Navigate back to the My Files main screen and select USB Storage. Tap Move here to start the transfer.
Unmount Safely: Before unplugging, go to Settings > Storage > USB Storage and tap Eject or Unmount to prevent data corruption.
